Hoo boy, this has pissed me off to the point where I'm now posting a thread about it because for some reason nobody has had the same problem that I have. VCD doesn't work. I install it but it doesn't bring up the prompt about installing the driver, and after the installation the virtual drive doesn't appear at all. I can't mount .iso's or what have you, either. I tried that thing where you disable the legitimacy checks or whatever with CMD and then restart, then try installing it. Still didn't work. I tried going to diskmgmt.msc, and surprise surprise, there was no virtual drive listed there. I am completely fed up with this crap and could use some insight into finally fixing this issue so I can just use VCD again.

Also, if it's in any way relevant, I had VCD before but uninstalled it.
 
Update: It turns out that the driver software was not uninstalling with VCD. I manually removed it after uninstalling the driver and VCD, then I rebooted. Afterwards, I tried to install VCD again, but this time it gave me a message that said "installation failed!" and then afterwards it said I need to reboot and asked me if I want to reboot now. I've noticed that the driver software is probably working fine. I discovered that Virtual CloneDrive can be found in device manager under storage controllers. There's still the issue of VCD not wanting to make virtual drives or mount files. Oh, and the drive doesn't show up on disk management still.
 
Do you have any Antivirus installed as that may be blocking the install. I've installed VCD on hundreds of PC's for clients and never once had an issue with it.

Click to expand...

No, I don't actually have any antivirus installed. Besides, if it was antivirus, then the antivirus probably would have told me that it blocked it.
I installed this a while back and had absolutely no issues with it. It had worked perfectly fine. At some point I uninstalled it and I just recently installed it again.
 
Actually a lot of Antivirus software doesn't tell you when it blocks drivers, that's why I asked.

When you open the VCD software how many drives do you have it set to?
